      When things were at their very worst:
      2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid - repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy.
      Scientists will say it was a global illusion.
      Beware - Jesus will never walk in flesh again.
      After WW3 - rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist - the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way.
      Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet
      - will seem to rise from the dead
      - will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one.
      One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist.
      Benedict XVI is the last true pope - will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent.
      "Many events, including ecological upheavals, wars, the schism in My Church on Earth, the dictatorships in each of your nations - bound as one, at its very core - will all take place at the same time."
      "Arab uprising will spark global unrest - Italy will trigger fall out"

    Always get my respect with releasing a lead single that does not sound the same as anything on the radio. The facts she’s giving us an era! A moment! That tells a story throughout is very nostalgic and therapeutic to say the least. Music is her passion not just a money grab. Can’t wait for the album

      I mean she hasn't really made a bad song. The first 2 albums just weren't that enjoyable for me. But all 3 Atlantic albums have been absolute bangers and it makes sense why the first two were on a small label. She really didn't get big till her 3rd album.

      @@SpeedVaultz this has nothing to do with what i said! they never needed a label for the quality of their music to be great . they don’t care about bangers they write and makes the songs from whatever they experience during that time! that’s why they got big because their music is raw and real not a whack ass formula for a hit .

    Verse 1]
    Fresh white flowers and a new tea light
    Nine cups of water, still water
    Soon I'll see your face
    Don't know why I ever thought you were far away
    I should've known better
    [Pre-Chorus]
    If I set a flame and I call your name
    I'll fix you a plate, we can go to dinner
    We can share a meal your way
    And I'll play you the songs that you used to play
    [Chorus]
    So I put you on the altar, stay just a little bit longer, woah
    Laid it out for ya', thought I felt you before
    Now you're closer, closer, woah
    So I put you on the altar, stay just a little bit longer, woah
    Laid it out for ya', thought I felt you before
    Now you'rе closer, closer, woah, woah
    [Verse 2]
    Holdin' on to things you told me
    Holdin' on to drеams you showed me
    Holdin' on to anything from you
    That you've been leaving here
    Now I believe I swear
    I can smell your perfume
    Picking up your signal like a phonebooth
    Keeping you alive and I do it 'cause I want to
    Pre-Chorus]
    If I set a flame and I call your name
    I'll fix you a plate, we can go to dinner
    We can share a meal your way
    And I'll play you the songs that you used to play
    [Chorus]
    So I put you on the altar, stay just a little bit longer, woah

    I'm so surprised! This is what we do in my parents' culture (Haitian). We set up a table/altar with a white sheet and candle, a glass of water and/or a cup of coffee, and a plate of the favorite meal of the person that passed. We sometimes also place fruits and other treats we knew they liked. Then we'll recite the Our Father, Hail Mary, and just talk to them like we used to. It's very emotional, but therapeutic. We also do this for our ancestors in general, but we use a much larger table and a lot more food which we then share with everyone afterwards so it doesn't go to waste.
    Edit: I know other cultures do something similar, but I didn't expect a popular US American artist to sing about it and make a video for it. Kehlani is truly wonderful!

    10 months ago I lost my big brother to Covid and right around that time this song came out. The lyrics hit so close to home. Playing the music they loved. Eating their favorite food. Looking at old pictures to remember every single memory. My grief is nowhere near over. But everytime I hear this song I look up and say hi to my guardian angel and I tell him how much I miss him. Loss is such a terrible part of love. But if you never grieve that means you never loved. Thank you Kehlani. You really saved my life.

    Prior to listening to the song, I read the lyrics. From the start I thought the song will be full of soft, slow, sad melodies combined together as a heart break would feel. But once the music began, I felt something different. It's like missing someone in a new perspective; still within the same heart break, but just in a different angle. I thought about the people I have lost physically in this world and those I have emotionally detached myself from. We grieve different types of deaths in almost the same way. This song felt like a blissful remembrance of those we've lost and how somehow, they are always with us. Protecting our energy. Kind of what Dia de Los Muertos is all about.

    ALTAR LYRICS
    [Verse 1]
    Fresh white flowers and a new tea light
    Nine cups of water, still water
    Soon I'll see your face
    Don't know why I ever thought you were far away
    I should've known better
    [Pre-Chorus]
    If I set a flame and I call your name
    I'll fix you a plate, we can go to dinner
    We can share a meal your way
    And I'll play you the songs that you used to play
    [Chorus]
    So I put you on the altar, stay just a little bit longer, woah
    Laid it out for ya', thought I felt you before
    Now you're closer, closer, woah
    So I put you on the altar, stay just a little bit longer, woah
    Laid it out for ya', thought I felt you before
    Now you'rе closer, closer, woah, woah
    [Verse 2]
    Holdin' on to things you told me
    Holdin' on to drеams you showed me
    Holdin' on to anything from you
    That you've been leaving here
    Now I believe I swear
    I can smell your perfume
    Picking up your signal like a phonebooth
    Keeping you alive and I do it 'cause I want to

      Girl YES not many of our people have a clue about offerings to our ancestors and having an actual alter to connect with them in their homes.

    I lost my sister yesterday. She was a registered organ donor, and an honor walk was provided for her. I was compelled to play this beautiful song as she was being transported from her ICU room to the PACU. The emotions in the song carried throughout the hallway. She will be missed but never forgotten. We honor her and passed loved ones on our altar.

    Kehlani is awesome!!! Love the song, visuals, concept, everything about it. But I wanna give my daughter, Diovanni a BIG SHOUT OUT!!! This was her 1st professional video debut and I am sooo proud of her. So show her some love and holla at her if you need that work.

    This song makes me feel light spiritually in a way, listening to yet another masterpiece of hers.
    *While We Wait* has been a bit of an eye opener to me for years now; still listening on repeat.

    This song was dedicated to Ochun. Kehlani is the daughter of Ochun. KEHLANI has surrendered and Ochun has Blessed her. Thisnis why this album is very powerful and her 1st song released in dedication to Ochun. Ochun is with her every step.

    I am convinced they wrote this song for me. Started listening to them in the You Should Be Here era and now this, it's fascinating to think and feel each project and relate it to the level of life you are on. Honestly can't wait for the rest of the album.
